Blissed Out- “Empire State of Mind Edit”- Synchronicity Space- Los Angeles, CA – 6/10/10 from Samantha Cornwell on Vimeo.

Shortly after Run DMT’s epic set last week, the crowd at Sync Space was treated to the hypnotic beats of NYC’s Blissed Out. To me, Blissed Out sounds like the buzz that lingers in my head after a day of surfing the web, while alternating between Caroliner Rainbow and The Notorious B.I.G. on my Itunes. Some day I hope to find them playing at the dance party I’ve always dreamed of. Although my affinity for the City of Angels grows every day, they really spoke my language with this interpretation of Jay Z and Alicia Keyes’ phenomenal tribute to our shared hometown. If you really want to get into an Empire State of Mind, full-screen this and pump up the sound. Getting out of your chair is also advised.
